This is a song about puns and heartbreak.

lyrics

6. MY BETTER HALF
(G. McElwain)

You caught my eye and so I let you have it
You took my arm all I could do was laugh
But then you broke my heart and kept the part you wanted but
The joke's on you 'cause I’ve still got my better half

You talked my ear off and you broke my spirit
in two the way you roped me like a calf
I may have donated that kidney for you baby but
The joke's on you 'cause I’ve still got my better half

I'm gonna make the most of what I'm left with
Gonna put my foot down, gonna take a stand
I’m gonna wink at other ladies if I want to
I’m gonna learn to play piano with my hand

Feel free to rest your head upon my shoulder
My lung will want a half a pack a day
It looks like you ended up with my appendix
But it's all right, I didn’t need it anyway

You really ought to get that bum knee looked at
I kept the wheat all you got was the chaff
And if you want a piece of me, well you can have it because
The joke's on you and I’ve still got my better half
The joke's on you and I’ve still got my better half
